      Thanks for the quick reply. What is a price range on these? Has everything but bottle, torch is WP-20, paint and sheet metal looks good, usual dust by fans.

            Figured I'd post an update, I passed on the first one I posted about, looked very well used ( production setting) and am now the proud owner of a 2008 SW 250DX with cooler, wp20 torch and amp track finger control. This one was bought new, used by a hobbiest and still looks new. Should serve me well for a long time. Already burned a few beads and I'm amazed with how quiet tig is!

                  Completely new to TIG, but have used stick and MIG for a long time. Definitely more time on stick but since I started my CJ-7 project it's all been MIG. I wanted to get into tig for the cleanliness and the ability to weld aluminum when the time comes. My plan is to practice until I get proficient enough to fab up bumpers and eventually a roll cage.
                  I'm fortunate enough to have a customer (that I just built a home for and is now a good friend) , that is a machinist and fabricator by trade to help me when I need it. He's been in it for a little over 35yrs and has a ton of knowledge on anything metal.

                        You're gonna really enjoy the TIG process. Just keep at it, no matter how many times you stick your tig wire to the electrode, just sharpen that sucker up and get back at it. You'll get the hang of it quicker than you think.
